Text: No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a Grand Jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the Militia, when in actual service in time of War or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offence to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.
Requirements: Law enforcement officers must give Miranda warnings PRIOR to "questioning initiated by law enforcement officers after a person has been taken into custody or otherwise deprived of his freedom in any significant way. [Miranda v. Arizona, 384 U.S. 436, 444 (1966)]" Such warnings are thus required when a person is (1) taken into custody, AND (2) subject to interrogation. The Supreme Court has explained that whether a person is "in custody" depends on the results of a two-part test that considers whether a reasonable person in the suspect's shoes would feel that he could freely exercise his right against self-incrimination and the degree to which the suspect's freedom of action is restricted.
